Sifting the ashes

In search of a crime guaranteed to fuel the rumor mill, one could do worse than to consider the fire that ravaged the Chenal Valley home of Aaron Jones, a 32-year-old Benton-based developer, in the small hours of May 30.

Car thieves arrested

On the jump, an LRPD report on the arrest of three car burglars, WLR teens all, and a car full of their booty from some 25 car break-ins over a two-night span.

Ludacris does a pro-Obama ditty. "Obama is here" is the refrain.

Is Karl Rove above the law?

A House committee thinks not. It votes to hold him in contempt for thumbing his nose at a subpoena.

Talk about invasive

Thanks to the vigilant Iconoclast for noting this story in the Morning News on a lawsuit filed against the city of Siloam Springs.

It was a good week for … The STATE GAME AND FISH COMMISSION. It struck a deal to lease more than 11,000 acres of wildlife management areas for gas exploration by Chesapeake Energy. The lease money alone is worth almost $30 million. Royalties, it is hoped,

The peace candidates

For one shining moment last week, John McCain and Barack Obama had precisely the same position on the Iraq war: They expected to get U. S. combat forces out within 16 months of taking office.

Stuff it in

Much has changed at my college since I graduated.

Another transgression

If you’re looking to move on from Lu Hardin, then you’d best move on from this space, at least today.

Food memories

I agree with Bob Lancaster. John Noah’s had one of the best plate lunches in Pine Bluff. That fried chicken was almost always perfect and the cole slaw — oh, my gosh.

Child’s play

The newest theater scene in Central Arkansas isn’t actually all that new.

Orval, July 31

B.B. King-Willie Nelson

Mick Jagger and his fellow Rolling Stones were perhaps the first legendary musicians to keep touring long past the age when most of their ilk had retired — or worse.

Smart talk, July 31

For old baseball fans, seeing a left-handed pitcher from Arkansas having a great year with the Cleveland Indians is what Yogi Berra is supposed to have called déjà vu all over again.

Zapata revolts: No common Tex-Mex

Zapata Grill, which started in Texarkana and recently opened its second location in North Little Rock, admirably elevates Mexican cuisine beyond typical Tex-Mex.

Child deaths on rise

Arkansas has seen an increase in the number of deaths of children in state custody this year, according to information acquired under the Freedom of Information act by Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families.

The Observer, July 31

Hell upcoming

One of these Augusts I’m going to stay indoors the whole month, hibernating through the doldrums as bears do through the cold, with no thought of returning to the grind until fall falls or anyhow makes a gesture.

Editorial Cartoon, July 31

Brothers from different unfunny mothers

The Televisionist, July 31

I got tired of reality TV when it became obvious contestants were ’roiding on “Road Rules/Real World Challenge.”

What's natural about it

Brummett mulls the paradox of leasing out state wildlife refuges in the so-called Natural State for gas drilling.

Mike Ross spits on home rule

Gun nuttery helped U.S. Rep. Mike Ross get where he is today. So it shouldn't be surprising that he's poster boy for the NRA on its current congressional cause, getting Congress to override Washington, D.C.'s revised local gun control ordinance.

Confused old man sez ...

The headline on this NY Times story about John McCain's latest campaign strategy is a knee-slapper, given McCain's serial flip-flops, perpetual confusion and general lack of orientation to the real world.

A woman might say, with an encyclopedia's worth of inflection: "Men ...." A while back, I mentioned a New York Times article about a Phoenix country club dispute over the club's refusal to admit women to its grill.

Catching up with 21st century

Seven-plus years in, Arkansas has a Task Force for the 21st Century Economy. It issued an interim report today.

Rove Can't Thumb His Nose At Congress

Karl Rove recently refused to appear before a congressional committee after being issued a subpoena.

Green = dollars only

Count me unshocked. Environmental groups weren't consulted before the Game and Fish Commission entered an agreement to lease wildlife management areas for gas drilling.

Maybe it's not a monarchy after all

A federal judge rules White House aides must answer congressional subpoenas and produce non-privileged documents.

Who knew he was gone?

Another district down

As expected, the state Board of Education decided today to take over the Decatur School District because of an expected $500,000 deficit, years of accounting irregularities and little immediate prospect of fixing the problem in a district with fewer than 600 students.

Interesting story on KARN Radio this morning. A Delta 767 made an unscheduled stop in Little Rock National Airport last night when flying between Atlanta and Memphis Phoenix.

The Wal-Mart way

Wall Street Journal today reports that Wal-Mart has mobilized for the fall election. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is mobilizing its store managers and department supervisors around the country to warn that if Democrats win power in November, they'll likely change federal law to make it easier for workers to unionize companies -- including Wal-Mart.

But, wait. Let's fight.

I was going to give up the ghost tonight.

It's no secret that we here at RazorbackExpats consider Dwight Stewart not only a great figure in Razorback history, but possibly one of the finest Americans ever.

Speaking of animal cruelty

Thanks to J.E. for a link to a story that illustrates the type of torture, which -- thanks to the Farm Bureau and Poultry Federation -- may only be charged as a misdemeanor in Arkansas.

Fresh start.

Chesapeake: "For The Good of" WHO? (UPDATED)

Those "For the good of Arkansas" ads are really starting to cheese me off.  A couple of weeks ago, I received a call from a friend, asking if I'd like to have her beautiful Ameraucana (the "Easter Egg Chicken") hens.  It seems that Chesapeake set up camp on the lot next door, cut down all the trees, installed a drill, and much more.  The constant noise, she said, was too upsetting for her much-loved birds, and she'd made the decision to let them go to a new home rather than continue to see them stressed out on a daily basis.  She was in tears over the decision, but couldn't see any other humane option.  She kept her more laid-back Orpington and other hens, who didn't seem as bothered by the 24/7 racket next door.I was totally unprepared for the scene at my friend's home when I went to pick up the five hens.  The first thing that hit me like a punch in the face was the NOISE.  Dear God, the noise.  I couldn't believe that noise like that could even be LEGAL in a residential neighborhood.  It was deafening, and non-stop.  We couldn't have a normal conversation, but had to shout at each other the entire time.Moving around to the back yard, you find the defaced acreage next door.  There's no escaping it, actually.  Apparently, promises were made on the front end...promises of visual screening, noise-baffling, etc.  Those promises were not kept.  This picture was taken as I stood next to my friend's tidy, adorable chicken coop.

'Send help': The shale drillers cometh

Belinda, over at the Ninja Poodles blog on our community blog page, offers some striking up-close-and-personal photos and comment on what happens when a Chesapeake shale drilling operation comes to a residential neighborhood.

Cool to Obama

Arkanas isn't likely to go Obama, barring a national landslide,  Brummett writes. So to summarize with brutal candor: Obama's biggest political problem nationally is with white rural voters and that only so happens to be the very group that decides races in Arkansas.

Arkansas vampire stories

Will vampire stories from an Arkansas author, Charlaine Harris, be the basis for HBO's next big hit?

Zapata revolts

Zapata Grill, which started in Texarkana and recently opened its second location in North Little Rock, creatively elevates Mexican cuisine beyond typical Tex-Mex. Fajitas, enchiladas, even (gasp!) cheese dip — no dish is too sacred to give a twist.

Mike Huckabee and his band rock a Bull Shoals crowd, glow sticks waving, with "Free Bird."

The Winter of our Discontent, The Summer of My Despair

A few weeks ago, a guy at the pool asked what I was reading.  “Oh” I glanced at the cover a little sheepishly, “It’s called Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets.”  I think it was the phrase “killing streets” that convinced him to peddle his small talk elsewhere, and if you ever find yourself hoping to kill a conversation, I’d try working it into a sentence.

Another candidate for mayor

Michelle McLelland, a Farm Bureau underwriter, has announced for North Little Rock mayor. Bubba Lloyd had already said he'd oppose incumbent Mayor Pat Hays.

A modest proposal

John Brummett has an idea worth talking about: If Game and Fish is going to allow gas drillers to carve up land purchased with public money for natural purposes -- thereby spitting on the notion of conservation -- and doesn't intend to share a cent of its newfound gas riches with other public purposes, how about we take back half of the "conservation" sales tax we gave the agency several years ago?
